Usually, we spend this time on a Friday debating the best (and worst) red carpet looks. But this week, we found ourselves gushing about all the fab celeb beauty looks on the red carpet — so we decided to share our faves instead. And frankly, after seeing all this fabulous celebrity makeup inspiration, it’s going to be tough to stay out of Sephora this weekend. Below, check out three looks we were loving.

Reese Witherspoon‘s Orange Lipstick: Who can pull off a white dress and orange lips when it’s not summer? Reese can, and she proved that at the Wild premiere in Beverly Hills. The actress teamed her Zac Posen dress with a stunning tangerine shade on her pout and metallic copper eyeshadow. And her simple side-swept chignon softened the entire look. –Brittany Talarico, Style News Editor

Amber Heard’s Unexpected Edge: When you’re wearing a Giambattista Valli Couture floral design at a dinner celebrating the designer’s collaboration with M.A.C., it can be easy to play it safe with your hair and makeup because, well, everyone’s probably looking at the stunning dress. But when you’re Amber Heard, everyone’s just looking … period. In my opining, Heard pulls off the ever-elusive dark lip, because it’s unexpected against the girly notes of the gown. But if you take a closer look at what she’s wearing, striped undies are poking through the skirt! This look needs edge, and she gave it. Plus she deserves an award (or her stylist Adir Abergel does!) for this enviably undone updo, which is beyond stunning from all angles. –Catherine Kast, Style Writer
Camilla Belle’s, Well, Everything: I don’t even know why I like Camilla Belle’s makeup look here so much. All I know is that this photo landed in my inbox and I was all about it. The mauve smoky eye is so striking. The just-bitten pink lip is so alluring. And her perfect skin (smooth and porcelain and just dewy enough) is the ideal canvas to set these things off. In fact, makeup artists everywhere are pinning this photo to their inspiration boards as a master class in how to apply blush. The best part? You could totally do this look yourself for a big event when you want to look done and polished but not Too Much. –Alex Apatoff, Senior Style Editor
